Memoirs of a Geisha
by Arthur Golden
This movie is being released in this coming mid January 06 in the UK I read.
It's about what the title is really...it's a journey into the geisha world in Japan around the time of the 1920s onwards.
The story is told from the main character called Sayuri.
Just want to say that I read this book twice a few years ago and it's brilliant. Everytime I put the book down I wanted to read it again. It's emotive and you really feel for the character and what happens in her life and around it..I just remember thinking it was a 'sensitive' book and it was lovely to read..
I hope this movie can be respectful to the book and it will be interesting to see how it's been made. Worth reading ,it is really and also going to see the movie I hope.
I did read there was some controvesy over the fact that Chinese actresses were used instead of Japanese women??
I give the book 10 from 10 and the movie....
have to see it first
thanks.
